The Legal Immigrants Announce Single, "Hang On"

The new single from garage rock group The Legal Immigrants mainlines a shot of adrenaline straight to the system. “Hang On” is a freight train rolling off the tracks with howling vocals, smoking amplifiers, and chugging guitar chords from calloused fingers. It unleashes a burst of energy with a call to iron-willed perseverance. “Hang On” is now streaming on all major platforms.

“Hang On” is a jaunting kick in the ass. If there’s one thing that the single won’t do, it’s let you feel sorry for yourself. As a rioting act of rebellion against complacency, it shakes the ground and roars under dragging feet, thrusting them towards the dawn of a new day. new year, and a new future. Smooth vocals round out the jagged edges and swelter with charisma as the lyrics capture a message of determination to give the last months of the year one final push. Snapping blues guitar riffs chug forward in motion as metallic tambourine rattles below the belly of the well-oiled machine.

What They're Saying

Green Light Go is an independent artist's best friend. Janelle Rogers and her team have helped me achieve a kind of momentum I've never felt as a DIY musician. I feel like people are finally paying attention to my music. They really believe in the bands they work with and that's why they get results!
